Question about Silkie Bantams

[NYChicks345]

Does anyone know if you can hatch white silkie bantams if your hen is a black silkie and your roo is a blue silkie?

Umm I don't know if it would hatch out a white.. but i say.. GIVE IT A SHOT!

and good luck!!!

I dont think there is a chance of white at all actually. The offspring will probably be dark blue/black.

Not unless there are hidden recessive white genes in the chickens

Which is pretty unlikely though! Even if there was the chances of the offspring being white are VERY low.

Black X Blue = 50% blue, 50% black
